reviewed indicates there is a potential for significant residual beryllium contamination outside
the period in which beryllium metal was processed, produced, or provided to DOE. PERIOD
OF POTENTIAL RESIDUAL CONTAMINATION: 1947-1981; 1984-1986” The DOE

summary report concludes there is no residual contamination, but the amount of contamination is

not entirely clear.

I developed a bloody nose, some fatigue, frequent urination, some head pressure, neurological
symptoms during the remediation period in 1987 while working at _ Library, attending

school at the University of Chicago and working the Institute.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital gave unneeded medication in response to associated
discrimination such as being jailed by NEIU for trying to get certified to be a school teacher ( all
charges dropped) or handcuffed by University for trying to ask what chemical was
released in Cameroon in 1986 (just terminated from work in the food service and told not to
come back to Jniversity). Cough, vomiting, fatigue and depression were associated with
this forced medication. I was told other people at the YMCA committed suicide associated with
medication that Northwestern Hospital forced on persons. In my case, fatigue, cough, vomiting,
fever, and depression was the result of the unneeded discriminatory medication and exposure to
beryllium contaminated areas. | stopped the medication which some doctors at NU forced on
3/1/2004, and the cough, fever, vomiting largely disappeared. Some Northwestern doctors
engaged in patient abuse saying things such as “I can’t tell you what does not makes sense, you
need to go up on medication.” One of the possible by products of medication is HCN a toxic

byproduct similar to Zyklon B chemically. Look at some pharmaceutical structures, HCN is a


in face, told “you are going to be dead, dead, dead, dead” about concerns. Illinois, through its

courts, abuses people historically who have concerns with their medications. If you have any
kind or type of disability, think twice about going to an Illinois university or Illinois as Illinois

Universities and Illinois engage in historical abuse against persons with disabilities.

The US Atomic Energy Commission’s programs have a history beyond nuclear testing, wastes,
Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, which includes discrimination against mothers and their adult and
younger children. When we look at proliferating or nuclear states, we can consider
discrimination against children (both younger and adult children) and parents as part of what
happens when states develop weapons. Iran may not be interested in weapons development if

they know there is a side effect of nuclear development.

NASA's history of studying cosmic rays, solar radiation, muons, and gamma rays shows that we
should not discriminate against radiation exposure to the extent of denying phone use or religious
services, We are all exposed to radiation; we do not need to discriminate against beryllium
exposure or uranium exposure since Be and UR exposure are not that different than solar

radiation exposure which everyone is exposed to.

People like Justice Stevens, Scalia (related to the University of Chicago), Sotomayor, Ginsburg
(related to being in New York and near Columbia University where there was some uranium
stored in the late 1930’s) have some limited exposure to uranium, while only Ginsburg and I
have any possible toxicity. There is probably a dose relationship; more exposure probably is
related to more toxicity. Since atomic energy is nationwide (Brookhaven, Los Alamos, Stanford,
Argonne, Oak Ridge, Hanford) we should be aware that some organizations like Cook County

Guardian and Illinois Courts and universities still discriminate against disability and difference.

Illinois takes away the rights of people with disabilities under
guardianship more than any other state in the US.

Illinois uses guardianship to take away the rights and resources of
persons who come to Illinois. My mother made clear requests for phone
use, visitation, coming home, mail, fresh air, dental services with

me, stamps, clothes, toothpaste, brush, but Cook County Guardian and a
nursing home denied these requests. Judge Connors and Quinn awarded
